Categories Beef

Time 5h10m

1 lb beef.........cut into 1-inch cubes
1 lb pork........cut into 1-inch cubes
1 lb lamb........cut into 1-inch cubes
5 medium onions........cut in half, then sliced

1. In a large, heavy casserole with lid, layer meats with the onions, salt,and allspice. Top with bay leaves. Cover tightly and bake at 275F. for 5 hours. Long slow cooking in the oven brings out the juices and flavor. Meat will be very tender and will, stew in it's own delicious juices!
2. It is not necessary to add other broth,or water to the meat, unless the dish is not tightly well covered, and it starts to cook dry.
3. Remove bay leaves before serving. This broth is not thickened.!!!!! The stew is usually served with boiled new potatoes. Or your choice of mashed potatoes, rice.. or even toasted bread.
4. You might like to try my recipe on J.A.P. for: "CRUSTY BREAD over nigjt & no kneading" It would be great... to help sop up the meat juices,farmer style.!!!! YUMMY!!!! Now is time to enjoy a FINNISH SAUNA, and a romp in the snow....EH!

Lihamojakka, Beef Stew - a Finnish-American Recipe for St. Urho' image

Provided by kitty.rock

Categories < 4 Hours

Time 3h30m

Yield 6 servings stew, 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2-2 lbs meaty beef short ribs
6 cups water
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons whole allspice
1/2 teaspoon peppercorn
4 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped
2 carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 rutabaga, peeled and chopped
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons potato flour or 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

Place meat and 6 cups water in large soup pot and bring to a fast simmer over medium-high heat. Maintain the simmer for about twenty minutes, skimming off all of the grey scum that rises to the surface (this will ensure that the broth of the completed stew is clear, a characteristic of good lihamojakka).
When the scum has stopped forming, reduce heat to low. Stir in chopped onion and garlic, bay leaves, whole allspice, and peppercorns. Cover pot and allow to cook for 2 hours (Hint: You can tie the bay leaves, allspice, and peppercorns together in a cheesecloth packet for easy removal if you don't wish to serve them as part of the completed stew).
After two hours, stir in the potatoes, carrots, celery, rutabaga, and salt.
Replace lid and simmer on medium-low until vegetables are tender (about 30 minutes).
Whisk together the flour and water and stir into the stew. Simmer for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, until the broth has thickened.
Serve with rye or artisan bread.
And NO Grasshoppers please!
